rowDaR-rorr HOLDER.

Application filed October 11, 1922. Serial No. 593,823.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, VIo'roR GUINzBURe, a citizen of the United States,and a resident of the city, county, and .State of New York, haveinvented a certain new and useful Improvement in Powder-Pufi Holders, ofwhich the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a holder or pouch intended to contain a powderpuff and has for its object to provide an article which willbe of simpleconstruction; which will hold the powder puff securely and which will beof such material enabling it to be kept clean and sanitary at all times.

A further object of this invention is to provide a means for reinforcingthe joined edges of the holder or pouch so that the possibility of theholder becoming torn at these points will be avoided.

With these objects and other objects which may hereinafter appear, inview, I have devised the particular arrangement of parts hereinafter setforth and more particularly pointed out in the claims appended hereto.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawing, forming a parthereof in which-- Figure 1 is a perspective view of a powder pufi'holder made in accordance with my invention, a portion of the same beingbroken away to disclose the powder puff contained within the same, and aportion of the edge strip or binding being removed from the body of thearticle to disclose its construction, and

Figure 2 is a sectional view on the line 22 of Figure 1, looking in thedirection of the arrows.

Throughout the various views of the drawings, similar referencecharacters designate similar parts.

In the preferred embodiment of my invention as disclosed in theaccompanying drawing, I construct the article of two fiat pieces orsections of material, such sections being shown at 1 and 2 and beingpreferably made of some expansible material such as thin sheet rubber orthe like, which I have found ideal for this use due to its waterproofand sanitary qualities.

The sections 1 and 2 are preferably united to ether on the edge 3 byvulcanization or ot er suitable means to provide a bag of practicallyseamless construction. It is preferable to form the bag in the shapeshown in the accompanyin drawing and provide such bag with a sustantially narrow mouth or opening 4. The powder puff 5 adapted to beheld within the bag is preferably made of greater size then the entranceor mouth 4 so that that opening 4: must be expanded or stretched so asto enable the powder puff 5 to be placed within the bag.

After the puff 5 is within the bag, the mouth or opening i contracts toits normal position retaining the puff within the bag and preventinginadvertent removal therefrom.

At 6 is shown a binding strip which extends completely around the edge 3of the bag and securely reinforces that edge. Such strip consists of aHat, elon ated member folded upon its longitudina center line. Thelongitudinal edges of the strip 6 are inturned as at 8, thus providingthe strip with thickened edges and a central thinner portion 7. When thestrip 6 embraces the edge 3 and suitable pressure is applied to causesaid strip to be adhesively secured to the edge by vulcanization orotherwise, the thickened edges 8 are, by reason of their greaterthickness than the central portion 7 of the strip, caused to receivegreater pressure than the thinner portion of the strip. This causes theedge portion of the strip to be very securely united to the opposingfaces 1 and 2 of the bag whereby the possibility of the strip peeling orstripping away from the bag is avoided.

From the foregoing, it is obvious that my invention is not to berestricted to the exact embodiment shown but is broad enou h to coverall structures coming within t e scope of the annexed claims.

What T claim is 1. An article of the class described comprising a baghaving a narrowed expansible mouth, a binding strip extending about theedge of said bag, said strip being provided with inturned portionsforming thickened edges, the entire strip being adhesively secured tothe bag.

2; An article of the class described comprising a bag having areinforcing strip extending about its edge and adhesively securedthereto, said strip being provided with thickened edges and a thinnercentral portion.

3. An article of the class described comprising a bag composed of twoflat sections of sheet rubber, said sections being united at theiredges, a binding strip adhesively secured over said edges, said striphaving its longitudinal edges inturned providing longitudinallyextending thickened edge portions and a thinner central portion on saidbinding strip. 7

4. An'article of the class described comprising a powder puff containercomposed. of a bag of expansible material having an mawama expansibleopening of less diameter than the powder puff intended to be containedWithin the bag, a reinforcing strip extending about the edge of saidbag, said strip be ing vucanized under pressure on said edge and havingopposite inturned edges lying on opposite faces of said bag and securedthereto.

Signed at the city, county and State of New York this 3rd day ofOctober, 1922.

VICTOR GUINZBURG.
